If you can’t eat your bread without marmalade or just love the idea of eating pancakes or waffles with a dollop of jam on top, The Jam Pantry in Greenslopes is the place to go to.
Occupying a sweet spot on Logan Road, this cafe serves breakfast and lunch in light and airy surroundings. Although menus change constantly, you can look forward to creative approaches to the classics like omelette, toast, and salad.
Menu hits include Focaccia with nutmeg bechamel and bolognese; gluten-free gnocchi; and mac & cheese with rocket cress and pickled zucchini. Produce comes from Food Connect, bread from Jocelyn’s Provisions, and coffee from Coffee Supreme.
The Jam Pantry is the brainchild of Gideon and Naomi Zavackas, who want to share their obsession with preserves on the southside through seasonal produce as well as fermented and pickled goodies.
It’s not strictly vegetarian, but it offers a lot for diners who want to go meat-free. They build a list of complementary ingredients each month based on what their local farmers and suppliers have harvested and collected.
For creatures of habit, they also have a list of classic favourites that they tweak each month. These are not quite as playful as the board, but still reflective of the season.
The Jam Pantry is 2/575 Logan Rd, Greenslopes and opens Wednesday to Friday and on weekends. For further information about this eatery, give them a call at 3158 9570 or follow them on Instagram: @thejampantry.
